Shoe size problem? Anyone else have this problem?

So, for the first time in two years or more, i decided it was time to go shoe shopping. I've been wearing a pair of sneakers for the last year that were a size 10, and that is too big. So, when I went in to get shoes, i asked the lady to measure my foot. She did so, and told me I was a size 8. So, i headed to the 8 section and tried on a pair of sneakers in a size 8. WAY too tight on the front. So, I went to the 8 1/2. Still too tight. I finally found ones that fit in the size 9!

why in the world is this happening? The shoes smaller then 9 hurt and were tight around the front part of my foot. The 9s feel a bit loose around the back, but that issue resolves it self when i lase up the shoes. I just want to know what is up with this? Why did the foot measuring thing tell me I was an 8 when it was clear as soon as I pur the shoes on i'd never walk comfortably in 8s? I just want a decent pair of walking shoes.

    Maybe you have long but cute toes :)

    Seriously, if you have longer toes (it seems people have little stubby toes or long finger like toes), then the front part of some shoes might feel cramped since your toes are longer than average. That is exactly what happens to me as my toes are much longer than average for the size of my foot.

    Which also happens to be a 16 and a half... welcome to my nightmare :D

    nicely, i do no longer know precisely the way you sense, yet my mothers family individuals is infamous for big ft - my mom has length 11-12, and my grandmother has length 13 because of the fact that she grew to become into 20. Neither of them discover fairly advantageous footwear that are less expensive. you're able to definitely evaluate your self fortunate which you're a length 10 - because of the fact its in basic terms on the very end of the undemanding sizes. Being outdoors of undemanding sizes sucks.
